About this ranking
Annual household final consumption expenditure on housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels, including actual and imputed rents, COICOP 2018 division 04. Excludes purchases of dwellings and land. Published in euros at current prices per inhabitant; domestic consumption divided by population, not a measure of residents spending alone.
Eurostat national accounts, domestic concept: includes non-residents spending in the territory and excludes residents spending abroad. Includes non-cash items such as imputed rent. Current prices in euros, including for non-euro countries: changes reflect prices and may reflect exchange rates. Not inflation-adjusted or purchasing-power-adjusted.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
